Frangiflutti by edith filzhof design

Frangiflutti (italian for breakwater)

a bit lengthways, a bit transverse, a bit circular, a bit angular shaped

The first part is knitted like the wavy baktus, in part two there are more decreases,
which intensifies the curvature and has to be compensated by decreases at the opposite
side of the shawl, in part three there are more decreases on the right side which creates
different tips, one lenghthways and one in transverse style. (see schema!)

The gauge is not essential, though it will affect the size and yarn requirment, but knit not
too loosely to keep the shpae of the ribs

Material: ca. 100g fingering or light fingering yarn, Needles ca. 3- 3,5 mm

Abbreviations: kfb: knit into front and back of same stitch (one increase)

RS: right side, WS: wrong side

Basic pattern: 6 rows of stockinette stitch, alternating with 6 rows of reverse stitch

Part 1: Cast on 3 stitches, start with 6 rows of stockinette stitch, in every 6th RS-row
increase one stitch at the end of the row with kfb, which makes the left side wider while
the right side remains straight. (first increase in row 5!!!) repeat until a length approx.
40cm (ca.37 ribs)

Part 2: Bind off one stitch at the beginning of each 6th RS-row while in every even RS-
row kfb the last stitch of the rows. This makes the shawl grow wider to the left side, and
on the right side it starts bending lightly to the left.
Part 3: After approx. 70cm (ca.58 ribs) bind off 4 stitches at the beginning of each 6th
row (RS) (which causes the stairs) simultanously kfb the last stitch of every RS-row and
kfb the first stitch of every WS-row. Repeat until you have ca. 72 ribs or till you ran out
of yarn.

Bind off loosly, soak in water and push the waves lightly together while drying

Schema:

Enjoy knitting!
